This is Why Fr. James Martin Makes no Sense – Your Annie Oakley Decoder Ring
I promise you that this post will become a decoder ring for you to read Fr. James Martin and others in the AmChurch. You’ll laugh and rub your hands with glee as you will be able to predict exactly what he’ll say about things. You see, he’s just a modernist, in my humble opinion, and he’s following…
Which is Worse: China Banning Children from Church or Our Sub-Par Catechesis?
In the news today, reports are there that four provinces in China now ban children from churches. The churches are warned not to allow parents to bring children or they will be severely punished. I was thinking about that. If successful, it will be a generation that has no memory of going to church with the…
Accompanying Herod: Why did People Go out in the Wilderness to See John the Baptist?
“Did you find everything you were looking for?” I remember the first time I heard that question. I had been looking around that store for what seemed to be hours. At one point, I asked a clerk in the store to help and they had to go get some help. They never returned. As I…
The Church of Wussies: this is why John the Baptist was Beheaded
I’ve gotten sick of hearing the phrase “oh, if they do that, it will cause a schism.” Almost always there is some quasi-pastoral calculus as to why we should suffer a stupidity in order to keep the faithful in the Church. Communion in the hand, for instance. A stupid, mind-numbing, pernicious attack on true faith. Rather than correct…
Pope Francis Endorses Felt Banners, Guitars, Carol King “Hymns”, Church in the Round
If you read the headlines today, it sounds like Pope Francis made an infallible pronouncement! (whoa, step back!). America Magazine proclaimed: Pope Francis says with magisterial authority: the Vatican II liturgical reform is ‘irreversible’ CRUX rallied with a howling: Pope Francis says with magisterial authority: the Vatican II liturgical reform is ‘irreversible’ and both seemed to…

Manos discusses with you the two standards in today’s context: On one side, God is a Person (the Triune Person) – a living person who has thoughts, loves you, and became man. On the other side, God is a…
For $12 Million, at least build a Catholic Church – AmChurch in Las Vegas Diocese
Is it possible that AmChurch is plainly revealing the new theology dreamt of by modernists? Readers are no doubt aware of the modernists of whom Pope Pius X wrote who, like termites, consume the Church from within, and seek to introduce the new theology. The new theology, of course, is born of hell. It is…
SPECULATION: Did Putin Tell Trump to Out the Pedophiles, or he will? Spadaro’s PR coup
Pope Francis Warned of the Sacrilegious Cult. Banker Pedophiles? Spadaro threw a Molotov cocktail. Putin delivers an Ultimatum to Trump? And still no one is talking about the Vatican auditor that resigned. A few weeks ago, I was listening to the radio and the topic was the meeting of Trump and Putin at the G20….
From the Mail: How can a Vow be voluntary if Abraham Forced His servant to make one?
Bruno B. wrote in with a question about an entry on the Bellarmine Forum catechism in which a vow is explained as: “1. A vow is a promise voluntarily made to God, to perform some good action. The vow is a promise made to God. We call upon God implicitly, if not explicitly when we…
